A cloudy day on the ‘Island of the Clouds’

Follow us through a cloudy day on one of the most iconic islands in the Caribbean – Bequia, Saint Vincent & the Grenadines.

The bad news: We postpone our sunshine activities for another day.

The good news: We enjoy the island throughout its cloudy mood and invest more time at the Firefly Bequia.

The actual word Bequia means ‘island of the clouds’ in the ancient Arawak language. As we start our trip for the day on this beautiful island, we immediately seem to experience it in its most cloudy setting. Bequia is somewhat the poster island for Caribbean beaches and beautiful sunlight, but that’s not the case this particular day.

We start off the day by calling Humble Servant Taxi Service and it doesn’t take long before our driver, Rendal, picks us up with his van. We didn’t want to ride with an open taxi because of the weather, so the van was a good choice for our day trip. Rendal knows the island by heart and has great driving skills, as he takes us to Fort Hamilton – known for its historically protective function at the island.

We get ready to relax at a popular hotel and later explore the plantations on Bequia. Rendal drives us to Firefly Bequia where we are warmly welcomed. The friendly staff members, Gary and Rodney, show us what guests can expect when staying at the Firefly Bequia while the chefs prepare our lunch.
